What is Sampling?

The SU200 records sound from a microphone or from input from a CD player or similar audio device. Thisrecording process is called

sampling

, and the recorded sounds are called

samples

. You can record a sampleinto each pad, and play the sample back by pressing the pad. The SU200 can store up to 24 samples (3 banks

×

8 pads) in its internal memory.

Samples are stored in digital form, just like recordings on an audio CD. The SU200 is capable of CD-qualityrecording.

●

Various playback features

In addition to playing samples back exactly as recorded, the SU200 also offers various types of special play-back.

• Play part or all of a sample repeatedly. (Loop play)............................................................................. Page 29• Play a sample backwards. (Reverse play) ............................................................................................. Page 29• Select the part of the sample that plays back. (Start point/end point)............................................... Page 30

The following illustration shows how playback works when you have set up start and end points and selectedloop play.

SU200 Features

The SU200 provides more than just standard sampling. This page introduces you to some of thespecial features included on the SU200.

■

Loop-Track Play: Play loop samples in unison, all at the same tempo (BPM) (

→

Pages 18, 32)

Although each sample has its own tempo setting, you can use this feature to play out multiplesamples all at the same tempo. (You can also use an external MIDI clock to synchronize the play-back.)

■

Powerful Effects and Filter (

→

Pages 17, 36)

Use the Loop Remix effect to rearrange break beats in real time. Or select from other dynamiceffects, or apply a filter. You can control the characteristics of each effect using the ribbon con-troller and Effect Control knobs.

■

Clear User Interface

• The backlit display makes it easy to view your panel settings.• Pads light up when pressed, so that you can easily see which pads are playing.• Effect buttons ([DIST] to [FILTER]) and the [SCRATCH] button light up when pressed, so that

you can easily identify the effect that is currently selected.

●

Apply effects and filtering to realtime audio input (

→

Page 19)

Apply filtering or an effects (TECH MOD, DIST/LO-FI, or DELAY) to input from an externalaudio source.

●

Includes resampling capability (

→

Page 26)

Mix multiple samples (together with effects, scratch, and filter) and record the result as a singlenew sample.

●

Includes a memory-card slot (

→

Page 40)

Use a memory card (SmartMedia card) to save and load sample data or WAV files.

●

Allows simultaneous playback of samples recorded at different grades

You can record a sample in any of four grades (quality levels). This allows you to economize onmemory: use low grades for sounds that are not affected by the quality level, and use high gradesfor sounds that require high resolution (cymbal sounds, etc.). You can play all of these samplesback at the same time.

●

Can operate on battery power

You can use the SU200 outdoors and in other locations where power connections are not avail-able.

Playing Samples

The SU200 comes with samples recorded for all pads. You are now ready to start using the pads toplay these prerecorded samples.

Z


Connect up headphones or an output audio device. (See page 10.)

X

Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch on the SU200’s rear panel.

The SU200 displays

YAMAHA SU200

and then enters Pad-play mode.You can turn the power off by pressing the switch a second time.

• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to theinstrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the SU200 for a long time,make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove thebatteries from the instrument.

C

Pressing each pad plays a different sample.

●

For example, try pressing and holding pad 1.

Notice that the pad lights up and that a drum rhythm pattern repeats (loops) as long as the pad is helddown. The playback stops when the pad is released.

●

Next, try pressing pad 8.

The pad lights up and you hear a cymbals sample, which plays once through and then stops.

Notice that pad 1 is set for

loop

play: it continues to play the sample repeatedly as long as it is helddown. Pad 8 is set for

one-shot

play: it plays the sample once through only. You are free to set each padto play either loop or one-shot, and you can change the setting any time you wish. (See page 29.)

• The SU200 provides eight pads and three banks,allowing you to store and play up to 24 samples.(Switching the bank changes you to a whole dif-ferent set of samples.) In the examples given herewe are using bank A.

• The SU200 can play a maximum of 6 standard (orlower) grade monaural samples at one time, or upto 2 high-grade samples at one time. The maxi-mum number may decline, however, when usingthe scratch or time stretch.

Chapter 1 Recording Samples


This chapter explains how to record samples. You can record samples using either automatic start(AUTO) or manual start (MANUAL). You can also re-record existing samples (resampling).

●

Automatic Recording automatically starts when the input level reaches a specified trigger level. This isthe method you used when recording your voice during the Quick Start tutorial. (Seedirectly below.)

●

Manual Recording starts immediately when you press the [START/STOP] button. (See page 24.)

●

Resampling Use this feature to record from the SU200's own output. This feature allows you to mix mul-tiple samples (together with effects, scratch, and filter) and record the result as a single newsample. (See page 26.)

Recording a Sample (AUTO start)

Z

Make the connections required for sample recording. (See page 10.)

• If you connect up both LINE INPUT and MIC INPUT, the SU200 records from the MIC INPUTonly. If you wish to record from LINE INPUT, be sure that the MIC INPUT jack is left empty.

X

Switch off all pads, and then press the [REC] button to enter Sampling mode.

●

Pressing the [REC] button a second time will move you to manual-start recording.

●

You can escape from Sampling mode by pressing the [EXIT] button.

C

Press the pad into which you want to record your new sample. (See page 20.)

If you wish to change the bank, press the appropriate bank button before selecting the pad.

• If a sample is already recorded on the pad you select, the display asks whether to delete it (asin “

Delete B-1?

”). Press [+1/YES] to delete the existing sample, or [-1/NO] to cancel andretain the existing sample.

V

Adjust settings as necessary. Select

STEREO

or

MONO

, and set the grade.

For more information about grades, see page 11.

• Remember that the SU200 can play a maximum of 6 MONO samples (or 2 high-grade MONO samples) at one time. A STEREO sample counts as two MONO sam-ples.

• If you are recording from line input and have selected MONO, you should connectthe line from your audio source to the LINE INPUT (L) jack.

• Clicking noise may occur while settings are being changed. It is recommended that youreduce the volume before adjusting the settings.

B

Adjust the input level by pressing the [-1/NO] or [+1/YES] button.

Input the sound that you are planning to record (through LINE or MIC input) while watching theinput-level meter on the display. If the indicated level is too high or too low, adjust by pressing [-1/NO]or [+1/YES] as necessary.

About the Recording Trigger Level

The illustrations below show how the trigger level works.

As you can see, recording starts when the input level hits the recording trigger level for the first time.At higher trigger levels, you will require a higher input level to start the recording. It is important toavoid setting the trigger level too low: at low trigger levels, recording start may be triggered too soon byunintentional noise (room noise, noise on the line, etc.).

M

Press the [START/STOP] button to enter recording standby.

<

Input the sound you are recording (through the microphone or from the device con-nected to the LINE INPUT).

Recording starts automatically when the input level hits the trigger level.

>

When you have finished recording, press the [START/STOP] button to stop. TheSU200 returns to Pad-Play mode.

• Sampling automatically stops if you run out of recording time (if the remaining-time displayfalls to

00_00_0

).

?

Listen to the results by pressing the pad that you selected at Step 3 above.

• If pads recorded at different grades are played together, the pad(s) recorded at lower gradesmay sound noticeably “noisy.” You can avoid this problem by recording all samples at thesame grade.

• If you notice noise at the end of the sample during playback, adjust the end point to a lessnoisy location.

Using the [HOLD] Feature

Use this feature when you want changes in effects and other settings to apply to a single selectedpad, regardless of the order in which you are playing the pads.

If you do not use the HOLD feature, changes you make in effects and other settings will apply to thelast pad that you pressed. If you have "held" a pad, however, then all changes apply only to that pad(until you release the hold).

To select a pad to be held. hold down the [HOLD] button and press the pad button. To release thehold, just press the [HOLD] button once again.

If you have held a pad, the screen will display an mark.

●

For example, assume that hold is off. You press pad 1, and then make an effect setting. The new settingapplies to pad 1. Now you press pad 2, and then enter another setting. This time the setting applies to pad 2(since that is the last pad you pressed). The target changes each time you press a different pad.

●

Now assume that you hold down the [HOLD] button and press pad 1óso that pad 1 is held. Then you releaseboth buttons. Next, you press various other pads and make various settings. In this case all settings applyto pad 1 only.

Loop-Track Play

Use this feature to play loop samples from multiple pads simultaneously. The basic operation wasdescribed in the Quick Start tutorial (see page 18). This section explains some important issuesrelated to this type of playback.

• Bass-phrase samples or bouncing rhythm-phrase samples may produce noise when used withLoop Track Play. An alternative approach in such cases is to use the job mode's time-stretchfeature (instead of Loop Track play) to synchronize the BPMs of the samples you want to playtogether. Note, however, that if you do this, you will not be able to adjust the sample BPMs inreal time).

Changing the loop-track playback tempo (BPM)

You can freely adjust the tempo used for loop-track play. The basic operation was described in the QuickStart tutorial (see Step 3 on page 18). Please note the following points.

• The SU200 remembers the most recent loop-track playback tempo. When you resume loop-track play, the temporestarts where it left off. (The tempo setting is retained even after the power is switched off.)

• Some tempo distortion may occur if all of the selected loop samples are

EXLG

(extra long).

Changing the sample’s tempo (bar-length) setting

The SU200 lets you set a sample’s loop length to 1 bar or 2 bars (1 bar = 1 measure). This setting affectsLoop-Track Play only. If you set the length to 1 bar, the sample loops once every bar. If you set the length to2 bars, the sample slows down and loops once every two bars.

For example, assume that you have set pads 1 and 2 for loop playback (see page 29).

●

If pad 1 and pad 2 are both set to 1bar, Loop-Tray Play looks like this:

Hold the pad down and pressthe [HOLD] button.

You can stop playback by press-ing the same pad or the [HOLD]button once again.

36 Chapter 4 Effects

You can use the SU200’s ribbon controller and EFFECT CONTROL knobs to apply an effect or filterto playback of any sample or to real-time audio input. The basic operation is described in the QuickStart tutorial (see page 17). This chapter provides a more detailed explanation about the effects, thefilter, the scratch feature, and the time-stretch feature.

• The scratch effect cannot be used in combination with the TIME effect, but can be used withany of the other effects or filters.

• Effects, filters, and scratch do not operate during playback of high-grade samples.

Selecting the Pad that Receives the Effect or FilterAs explained in the Quick Start tutorial (see page 17), you select the pad that receives the effect (or fil-ter) by (a) pressing the pad, and then (b) pressing the appropriate effect button. Note however, thatpressing the pad also causes the pad’s sample to start or stop playback. In many cases—such aswhen you are in the midst of a performance and multiple pads are playing—you may want to move theeffect to a different pad without starting or stopping playback of that pad’s sample. You can do this byholding down the [HOLD] button while pressing the pad.

The following example shows how this works. Assume that the effect is originally assigned to pad 1,and that pads 1 though 5 are playing, with all other pads silent.

● Hold down the [HOLD] button and press pad 2. This cancels the effect for pad 1 and moves the effect to pad 2. Thepad-2 sample continues playing. (Since you were holding [EXIT] down, playback did not stop when you pressed thepad.)

● Hold down the [HOLD] button again and press pad 7. The effect now moves to pad 7. Again, the pad-7 playbackstate remains unchanged (the pad-7 sample remains off).

● Now hold down the [HOLD] button once again and press the AUDIO IN pad. The effect will now apply to your audioinput. The current audio-input state remains unchanged (in this case, remains off).

Pressing the [HOLD] button together with a pad also sets that pad as the “held” pad. (See page 32.)

Effects, Filter, and ScratchAs you can see from the panel, you are free to use any of the effects listed below. You can controlthe characteristics of each effect by turning EFFECT CONTROL knobs 1 and 2.

● LOOP REMIXThis effect breaks the pad’s sample (the part between the start point and end point) into multiple pieces, and rear-ranges these pieces into a different order. Use this as an easy way to create new drum patterns out of existing 1-barand 2-bar drum-pattern samples.

• Type.................... Controls how the sample is broken up. Turning knob 1 to the right increases the number ofpieces (reducing the size of each piece).

• Variation............. Turning knob 2 to the right increases the amount of reverse playback with the rearrangedpieces.

●

DELAY

This effect adds a delay.

• DELAY LEVEL

.. Turn knob 1 to control the sound level of the delayed sound component.

• TIME

................... Turn knob 2 to control the delay time: the time between the start of the original playback andthe start of the delayed playback. The delay time changes in accordance with the sample’stempo (BPM).

●

FILTER

The filter removes a specific frequency range from the sample output, producing a change in the sound quality.

• CUTOFF

............ Turn knob 2 to make the sound brighter or darker.

• RESONANCE

... Turn knob 1 to apply distinctive resonance characteristics to the sound. Turning the knobheightens the overtones, resulting in a twanging sound similar to that produced by an analogsynthesizer.

●

SCRATCH

This feature lets you use the ribbon controller to scratch out a selected sample. Rub the ribbon up or down to play thesample forward or in reverse, emulating the scratch sound produced by manually turning a vinyl disc.

●

TIME

(real-time tempo change)

This feature changes the playback tempo in real time while introducing a distortion effect.

• The SU200 can play a maximum of 6 standard (or lower) grade monaural samples at onetime, or up to 2 high-grade samples at one time. The maximum number may decline, how-ever, when using the scratch or TIME feature.

• Loop Remix, Slice, TIME, and scratch do not work on audio input.• Loop Remix and Slice may generate noise when used with certain types of sound. • Loop Remix and Slice have no effect on pads that are set to one-shot play.• If you use Loop Remix on a sample for which loop-track play is off, you may notice a slight

change in the sample's tempo.

Chapter 5 MIDI Features

This chapter explains the SU200’s MIDI features.

About MIDI

What is MIDI?

MIDI (for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”) is a standard, internationally recognized interface for music-related dig-ital communication among electronic instruments, computers, sequencers, and related devices. The interface allows dif-ferent types of devices from different manufactures to exchange music performance data, music voice data, and othermusic-related information.

MIDI Channels

A single MIDI cable carries up to 16 channels of performance data. The channel concept is the same as with TV broadcast-ing: multiple channels are transmitted, and the viewer selects any one of these channels to be received. If you wish to con-trol the SU200 from an external MIDI device, therefore, you need to set the SU200’s MIDI Receive channel to match theexternal device’s Send channel.

MIDI Features Supported by the SU200

●

Use the clock from an external sequencer to control the timing of Loop-Track Play.

• To use this feature, you need to set the SU200’s clock setting to

EXT

. (See page 39).• In some cases, playback may not operate correctly if BPM is set to 60 or below.

●

Use an external keyboard to control pad play (to turn pads on and off).

• To use this feature, you must set the keyboard’s output channel and the SU200’s receive channel to the samechannel number. (See page 39.)

• The 24 white keys from C1 to E4 on the MIDI keyboard correspond to the SU200’s 24 virtual pads.(See next page.)

• Playback may be somewhat late if all of the playback samples are

EXLG

(extra long).

Chapter 6 Using Memory Cards


Handling the Memory Card(SmartMedia

TM*

)

Be sure to handle Memory Cards with care. Follow the important precautions below.

* SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.

■

Compatible Memory Card Type

3.3V(3V) Memory Cards can be used. 5V type Memory Cards are not compatible with this instrument.

■

Memory Capacity

There are five types of Memory Cards: 2MB/4MB/8MB/16MB/32MB. A Memory Card with the memory capacityexceeding 32MB can also be used if it conforms to the standards of SSFDC (Solid State Memory Card Card:another name of SmartMedia) Forum.

■

Inserting/Removing Memory Cards

•

To insert a Memory Card:

Hold the Memory Card so that the connector section (gold) of the Memory Card is facing downward and forward,towards the Memory Card slot. Carefully insert the Memory Card into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way inuntil it is fitted in place.

• Don’t insert the Memory Card in wrong direction.

• Don’t insert anything other than a Memory Card in the slot.

•

To remove a Memory Card:

Before removing the Memory Card, be sure to confirm that the Memory Card is not in use, or it is not beingaccessed by the instrument. Then pull the Memory Card out slowly by hand. If the Memory Card is beingaccessed*, a message (keep PwrOn) to indicate that it is in use appears on the instrument’s display.

* It includes saving, loading, formatting and deleting. Also, be aware that the instrument will automatically accessthe Memory Card to check the media type when you enter job mode on.

• Never attempt to remove the Memory Card or turn the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the dataon the instrument/Memory Card and possibly the Memory Card itself.

■

Formatting Memory Cards

Before using a Memory Card with your instrument it must first be formatted. Once it is formatted all data on itwill be erased. Be sure to check if the data is unnecessary for you or not, beforehand.

• The Memory Cards formatted with this instrument may become unusable with other instruments.

About the Memory Cards

•

To handle Memory Cards with care:

There are times when static electricity affects Memory Cards. Before you handle Memory Cards, to reduce thepossibility of static electricity, touch the metal parts such as a door knob and aluminum sash. Be sure to remove the Memory Card from the Memory Card slot when it is not in use for a long time.Do not expose the Memory Card to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity,dust or liquids. Do not place heavy objects on a Memory Card or bend or apply pressure to the Memory Card in any way. Do not touch the metal part (gold) of the Memory Card or put any metallic plate onto the metal part.Do not expose the Memory Card to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc.,since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the Memory Card, rendering it unreadable.Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a Memory Card. Also make sure that labels are attachedin the proper location.

•

To protect your data (Write-protect):

To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, stick the write-protect seal (provided in the Memory Card pack-age) onto the designated area (within a circle) of the Memory Card. Conversely speaking, to save data on the Memory Card, make sure to remove the write-protect seal from the Card.Do not reuse the seal that is peeled off.

■

Data Backup

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate Mem-ory Cards. This gives you a backup if one Memory Card is lost or damaged.

42


You can use memory cards to save and load sample data. You control memory-card operationsusing the SU200’s Job mode.

Saving Data into a Memory Card

The SU200 offers the following two methods for saving sample data into a memory card.

●

Volume Save: Save all data from all SU200 samples into the card.

●

Wave Export: Save a selected sample into the card as a WAV file.

The “volume save” will save all samples together with all related settings.

• These operations do not save settings related to the EFFECT CONTROL knobs and ribbon control-ler.

• If the memory card does not have enough free space to hold the save, the SU200 displays an errormessage (see page 52) and cancels the save operation. If you wish to proceed, you must use a dif-ferent card or delete one or more files from the current card.

• The term

volume

refers to the entire set of SU200 sample data: all samples (waveform datatogether with settings) for all pads.

• Before you can save data into a new memory card, you must format the card. (See page 47.)

Displayed Messages

The SU200 displays a number of different messages. This section explains the most important ofthese messages.

The batteries are running low and need to be replaced. Forinformation about how to replace the batteries, see page 12.Upon displaying this message, the SU200 also sets on mem-ory protection (see page 51), disabling all operations thatwrite new data into memory and preventing entry into jobmode. These operations remain disabled until the batteriesare replaced.

Do not switch the power off while this message is on the dis-play. Switching the power off at this time may cause loss orcorruption of your data.

This message appears if SU200 sample memory becomes fullwhile sample recording or resampling is in progress.

This message appears when you attempt to carry out samplerecording, resampling, deletion, or extraction while memoryprotection is ON. (To enable these operations, you mustswitch protection OFF. See page 51.)

This message appears immediately following power-on if theSU200 detects corruption in its recorded data. This type ofcorruption can be caused, for example, by switching offpower while the SU200 is in the process of writing data.

The SU200 does its best to restore the bad data, but it is pos-sible that some or all of your recorded data may be lost. Ifyou find that the data is very corrupted, please reinitializethe SU200’s internal memory as shown below.

The SU200’s receive buffer became full during reception ofMIDI data (the SU200 was not able to keep up with theincoming data load). To correct the problem, reduce thequantity of data you are transmitting to the SU200.

An error occurred during reception of MIDI data. Check thecable connections and the MIDI settings at the SU200 and atthe sending side.

You attempted to execute a card-related operation while nomemory card was present in the slot.

You attempted to execute a file-related memory card opera-tion (load from card, or delete from card), but the file youspecified does not exist on the card.

You attempted to save data into a memory card, but the cardis already full. If you wish to save new data to the card, youmust first free up space by deleting one or more files fromthe card.

The SU200 was unable to write data to the memory card.This error occurs when you attempt to format or save to amemory card that is write-protected or damaged.

The memory card is damaged.

The SU200 does not support the memory card's format. (Thecard was formatted by another device and cannot be read bythe SU200.)

The file on the memory card is corrupted or is unsupported.

You attempted to execute an operation that requires an exist-ing sample (deletion, extraction, etc.), but the pad youselected is currently empty.

If attempting to use time-stretch: You selected the same padas both master and slave. If attempting to copy a sample: You selected the same padas both the source and the destination.

You attempted to use a pad containing a high-grade samplewhen carrying out a function (such as resampling) that doesnot support high-grade samples.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause

No sound • Is your playback device (powered speakers, etc.) correctly con-nected?

• The volume on the SU200 or the playback device may be set toolow.

• The pad volume setting (see page 51) may be too low.• Check that batteries are correctly installed, or that the power

adaptor is correctly connected. (See page 12.)• Are batteries fresh? If batteries are old, try replacing them.• You may be trying to play an empty pad (a pad that does not

contain a recorded sample).• Are the sample’s start and end points set correctly?• If you are using the filter, try changing the cutoff (see page 37).

Some cutoff settings may cause all sound to go off.

Sound is distorted. • The volume on the SU200 or the playback device may be set toohigh.

• Are batteries fresh? If batteries are old, try replacing them.• Use of an effect or filter at certain settings may produce distor-

tion. (See page 36.)• You may have set the input level too high when you were

recording the sample.

Loop-Track Play doesn’t start when the [LOOP TR PLAY] but-ton is pressed.

• The clock setting may be set to

EXT

(see page 39).

Cannot record samples. • Is LINE INPUT or MIC INPUT correctly connected? (See page10.)

• The Protect function may be on. (See page 53.)

Cannot start sample recording (AUTO start).

• The trigger level may be set too high. (See page 23.)

Sample recording starts too soon (AUTO start).

• The trigger level may be set too low. (See page 23.)

Available sampling time seems too low.

Sampling memory is running low. You can economize on memoryuse as follows.• Reduce the sampling grade. (See pages 22, 24.)• Record in MONO rather than STEREO. (See pages 22, 24.)• Delete unnecessary samples. (See page 34.)

Cannot control the SU200 from an external MIDI device.

• Be sure that the SU200’s MIDI channel setting matches thechannel setting of the external device. (See page 39.)

• Be sure that the clock setting is set to

EXT

. (See page 39.)

Cannot play SU200 samples from an external MIDI keyboard.

• Be sure that the SU200’s MIDI channel setting matches thechannel setting of the external device. (See page 39.)

• Remember that the SU200’s 24 virtual pads (3 banks

×

8 pads)are mapped to the 24 white keys from C1 to E4 on the externalkeyboard. Keys outside of this range do not produce any sampleplayback.
